Hi,

in ports we have openhab at version 4. Version 5.0.x is available, but
due to FreeBSD incompatibilities in graalvm stuff - which is used inside openhab - non RuleDSL (e.g. JavaScript or Python) scripting will not
work, MQTT HA also seems to be affected. Version 5.1.x of openhab may
come with a more recent graalvm which allows to disable os-name checks.

Technical details:
https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/19276

https://github.com/oracle/graal/commit/6d441a8bb73273e286503cfd07a7292c941e6ce0

Poll / possible way forward for us:
1) update misc/openhab from v4 to v5, losing JS/python support for some
months
2) keep misc/openhab at v4 until a fixed version is available
3) copy misc/openhab to misc/openhab4 and have misc/openhab at v5 (but
then I would not do a run-test of v4 anymore... this is my least
preferred way)

Opinions from FreeBSD users of openhab are welcome.

Bye,
Alexander.

P.S.: the openhab developers are of the opinion, that nobody is using it
on FreeBSD (https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/19276#issuecomment-3250005890),
it would be nice if users of openhab would mention their use of it on
FreeBSD in some official openhab support channels to raise a bit of
awareness.

As a rCLnon userrCY so far, take this opinion as JMH one.
If I understand well option 1 means a loss of features potentially in use from someone, option 2 means slowing the upgrade.
Sad to say: my advice is for #3, make a separate port, mark the old one as rCLfeature freeze, unsupportedrCY and go on.
Keep an eye on dependencies, itrCOs unlikely but if some other port depends on the current one/versionrCa drop a note to the maintainers. Cheers,
A.
